Spring?

There is a lot going on around here. It helps that the weather has been so awesome for the past two days. It is just the motivation I need to super-charge March.

I officially start my new job on the first Monday of March. My fellow copy editor and work friend, Kate, was promoted to news editor, so we will tag team the newsroom in the near future. They are bringing in two new copy editors to replace us, and God forbid Jake will be the senior member of the desk.

The best news of it all is with the new job comes a new schedule. I'm working Sunday to Thursday, still 2-11 for now. That is until the new copy editor is phased into that nighttime role. Then I'll be either Sunday to Thursday, 9-6, or Monday to Friday 9-6.

Brad and I went to the NC Press Association awards banquet in Raleigh Thursday. It was a long drive, especially since I had to go to work the next day. It was nice though. We met many important people, including editors and publishers of newspapers we would eventually like to work for. We also got to cheat on our diets. (Update: Brad is down 15 pounds, I am down 9).

Sorry to focus mainly on work for this entry. It is really about all that is new in my life right now.
